Just Behave!

Disciplining children is a heated issue and can be distressing for some and a source of conflict and tension for others. The problem is, nothing undermines a parent's authority more than having another parent getting upset with them. This is justified if the parent is being brutal or too punishing, but sometimes its an argument over weather little Sam can have dessert when he didn't eat all his dinner. Some people come together, have children and then realise the way they want to raise a child is completely different. Two people who got along fine are suddenly arguing about everything. The end result is the child gets mixed messages, feels in the line of fire or sees an opening to take over! Along side familiarity with the many factors that can play into child behaviour, (see more on child behaviour problems) Clarissa is a certified Triple P parenting program trainer and also versed in the 'magic 1-2-3' behaviour management method and can coach you on management techniques so you are on the same page with parenting.

Along with her professional training Clarissa has over 17 years 'hands-on' experience from parenting 5 completely different children. There is more than one way to skin a cat, as they say and different parenting styles can work together if parents work together. If adults understand what their parenting style is, and more importantly, what drives it they can work together to be highly effective parents and have secure contained children.
